    Hi all first post here so be gentle ? So i've been asked to certify a mobile bar (made from a horse box) and i'm very cautious of this because of the PME issue. My thinking though is to use a PEN fault detector, the kind now used for EV chargers, to make it safer for them to use anywhere as we...

    Does a three-pin socket used for Electrical Vehicle charging need a earth electrode or open PEN fault detection device?

    As the title says, does a three-pin socket (external) used as charging point need an earth electrode or open PEN fault? Are mode 1 and mode 2 exempt from this ? I was under the impression that anything used as EV charging point and if located externally, the installation would need to have...
